    Thanks. I have been temped to use MDF, or similar, because the finish
    surface, especially compared to plywood beadboard surfaces I have found,
    is so superior. I suppose that in the northeast, this product is more
    available, as it is more traditionally used in houses and on boats.
    Yesterday I found a really nice product at a local lumber yard wish is a
    beadboard profile with a good vertical grain wood, smooth finish, good
    tounge and grove fit. Also, it is pretty thin - probably about 3/8 inch.
    The problem is that it only comes in 4-foot lengths (traditional
    residential wainscot). If I can track down the supplier and get some
    longer lengths it will be perfect - well, except for the price. I'll
    keep looking.

    ================
    I think the use of any form of fiberboard on a boat is a really
    bad idea.

    MDO plywood (medium density overlay), commonly used for outdoor
    signage, would be a good choice.
